Types of Vorticons
Several different types of Vorticons are featured throughout the Invasion of the Vorticons series. Vorticons start out as small, bluish, juvenile citizens, usually called "youths". They possess considerable hyperactivity and can temporarily stun someone upon impact. Female Vorticons are rotund and resilient, and protect their children by fireballs. Male Vorticons are armorless grunts in the Army. Some grunts are Vorticon Elite warriors, wearing pink-and-blue outfits and carrying a Vorticon HyperPistol, a special raygun reserved specially for them. The land-based defense of Vorticon VI is composed of the VortiNinjas, ninja experts in hand-to-hand combat and very difficult to take down. The Vorticon Elders, wise masters of lore and common sense, are kept in stasis and possess knowledge from before the time of the Grand Intellect. They appear only in stasis prisons on the Mothership in The Earth Explodes. The Elders are kept in the Mothership to serve as a source of knowledge in the most difficult Vorticon missions. They give advice from their stasis chambers telepathically to Keen.
